Went out yesterday for a quick hello and cuppa with one of Himselfs friends, just after lunch, and ended up coming home 10.00pm! In the meantime we had chatted and coffeed and then I went with the lady of the house out into the bush behind their house to walk their three labrador dogs. Annie is golden, Milo is chocolate and Vader is black. Lovely beasts, beautiful manners, a little bit strong on the lead but most obedient when called to come back while out in the open bush. Lots and lots of Orb spiders out in that bush! One walks with a stick held out front to prevent walking into their enormous webs. By the time we got back from the walk the boys had decided we were staying for dinner! For a bang up meal it was delicious. Rissoles and veg with gravy, whats not to like about that? And they followed that up with golden syrup dumplings and cream..Wonderful people.
Today Himself has returned to help his friend fit a new exhaust system to his 4x4.
Tonight we are going out to dinner with Himself's family. Seems there is a nice new restuarant that needs to be tried!
We have now decided to stay in Bendigo until after Easter and do a couple of day trips during the Easter break. The Tractor Pull at Quambatook is high on the list of possibilites on the Saturday and maybe the Easter Nats at Winton Raceway on the Sunday. There is also a woodworking display on Good Friday.
So much to see and do, so little time left to see it all.
I am on a promise to maybe perhaps go to the famous Bendigo Pottery tomorrow. I have been passing it day in and day out now for a couple of months but my hints and longing glances have not been noticed, so today I outright asked!!
My husband grew up passing this pottery everyday on his way to school and work and he just does not 'see' it anymore. To him it is just part of the scenry.
Note to all of you out there who read this blog, you may think your local district is ho hum but remember that your visitors might think it is fascinating. Maybe it is time you walked around your town with a more open attitude.
Thank God for Visitor Centres and the people who staff them. Without fail these folk love their town or district and are very happy to chat about it and the people who live there or the events that have helped shape their town.

Glad to see you are feeling better again! Maybe one of your day trips can be to our place! Not the Friday or Saturday though, we are already booked. You still have to come visit us at home some time in the near future.
